See more » Quotes The Best Of Irwin Allen 5 June 2001 | by Thor2000 (Collinsport, Maine) – See all my reviews I think this was the best thing that Irwin Allen ever did. Although the show drifted far away from its original synopsis,the adventures of a family in space, it eventually became the story of a boy and his robot. Bill Mumy became a hot talent in Hollywood after the series and his role as Will as the likeable son is one of TV's most endearing roles.

Johnathan Harris was the villain we loved to hate as he became of another of the screen's most versatile character actors. The man showed great talent arguing with an inanimate prop and making it the hero of the show. The unnamed robot, ironically, became more dimensionally than anyone else in the show, and forget Mary Anne vs. Ginger, how many guys had crushes on Penny Robinson than on Judy ? Penny was the adorable ingenue next to the obvious Hollywood presence of Marta Kristen, the first Marilyn Monroe of the galaxy. John and June Robinson, however, slowly became less the leaders and heros of the series as they became closer to Ward and June Cleaver as they spilled out parental advice and punishments. Don West, however, remained mostly the same character without any developments in his character and past, but that can be directly blamed on the series focus between Will, the Robot and Dr. Smith while everyone else became just a little bit more than supporting roles. Despite these few faults, I still think its one of the best things to ever grace television. 40 of 42 people found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you?

Loved him in Disney's Zorro and Lost in Space!! I think he is why I like men with dark hair and mustaches!! 52 Pins67 Followers <em>Lost in Space</em> Pinterest Three decades ago—they seem like light-years!—TV’s Robinson family boarded the Jupiter II, blasted off on a mission to a star cluster called Alpha Centauri and wound up hopelessly Lost in Space. But it is only in the past few years, thanks to re-release on cable and videocassette, that the CBS show (1965-68) has come into its own as a pleasurable little classic. There are even plans to expand it into a big-screen movie next year.

“Who ever dreamed that in my dotage I’d become a cult figure!” says Jonathan Harris, 80, who as stowaway Dr. Zachary Smith came close to stealing the show with his overripe diction (“Oh, the pain…the pain”) and fluttering hysteria. “That’s camp,” he says, “and it worked!” These days he does voice-overs, including one as Lucifer in a video series for the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Quoth Harris, who lives in L.A. with wife Gertrude: “I am the king of voice-overs.” For the past 11 years, June Lockhart, 70, who played space wife Maureen Robinson, has been a semiregular on ABC’s General Hospital, playing the grandmother of Felicia (Kristina Malandro). In March she taped a Roseanne episode with other classic TV mothers (don’t forget, Lockhart was also Timmy’s mom on Lassie). “Roseanne,” says Lockhart, “was the highlight of my career.” The silly nadir, perhaps, was an airheaded Space episode, “The Vegetable Rebellion,” in which Harris turned into a celery stalk.

She and her TV husband Guy Williams (who died of a heart attack in 1989) laughed so helplessly, she says, “we were written out for two weeks.” Twice-divorced and the mother of two daughters and grandmother of three, Lockhart, who lives in L.A., is more vivacious today than Mrs. R. ever was. Teasing, she asks, “When you look the way I do, why not brag?” Bill Mumy, 41, was a busy child actor even before he played Will Robinson at age 11. Now he plays the alien Lennier on the syndicated Babylon 5, but he also does voice-overs, writes comic books and plays guitar in a rock band. He and his wife, Eileen, 40, a childbirth instructor, live in L.A.’s Laurel Canyon with their children Liliana, 1, and Seth, 5. The cast members reassemble several times a year for lunch on the Twentieth Century Fox lot. “We just enjoy each other,” says Lockhart.

“We’ve never lost touch.” And the two Robinson girls, adds Harris, “are both happy and beautiful.” Angela “Penny” Cartwright, 42, runs a boutique, Rubber Boots, in North Hollywood. Marta “Judy” Kristen is still acting in stage productions in L.A. Mark Goddard, 58, who played stalwart pilot Don West, teaches school in Boston, says Mumy. Finally, it is time to give due to Bob May, 55, who spent three uncredited years hunched down in what he calls the bucket—the Robinsons’ all-purpose Robot. (Red Skelton‘s announcer Dick Tufeld provided the voice.) May, who comes from an old vaudeville family and has two grown children, performs in supper clubs. But nothing will ever match Robot’s dramatic weight. “You had to have the strength to carry the 250-pound costume on your back,” explains the L.A. County resident. Back in ’65 it wasn’t exactly the kind of part he was looking for. “But, hey, I’m an entertainer,” he says.

Lee, Times Staff Writer Guy Williams, the actor who starred in the popular 1950s television series "Zorro," has died in Buenos Aires, Argentina, authorities there said Sunday. He was 65. Williams' body was found by police Saturday in his apartment in the exclusive residential neighborhood of La Recoleta. He apparently suffered a heart attack and died about a week ago, the government news agency Telam reported. An investigation was begun to confirm the exact cause of death.

The 6-foot, 3-inch second-generation Italian-American, whose real name was Armando Catalano, was chosen by Walt Disney Studios to portray Zorro on the small screen in a role made famous in motion pictures by Douglas Fairbanks Sr. and later by Tyrone Power. The television series recounted the adventures of Zorro and his alter-identity, Diego de la Vega, a seemingly spoiled son of a Spanish aristocrat. De la Vega presented himself, to the chagrin of his father, as a disinterested and apathetic overseer of a ranch in the section of 1820s colonial California that was to become Los Angeles. When confronted with injustice, De la Vega secretly transformed into a Robin Hood-like defender of his countrymen against the abuses of Spanish overlords. Zorro identified himself to villains and victims with trademark bullwhip, black mask, cape and perhaps most endearing to audiences - his signature of using his foil to "make the sign of the Z" at the site of an escapade. Extensive previous training in fencing helped Williams get the part in the series, which was produced from 1957 to 1959. It continues to run on the Disney Channel.

Williams also starred as professor John Robinson in the 1965-1968 series "Lost in Space," portraying the patriarch of a futuristic family on a space exploration mission gone awry. The series followed the family in their sabotaged spaceship as they tried to find their way home from a neighboring solar system. Between the two television series, Williams starred in two movies that won him little attention: "The Prince and the Pauper" in 1962 and "Captain Sinbad" in 1963. The son of an insurance broker, Williams grew up in New York City, where he attended public schools. After graduating from high school, he attended a military academy. Williams' father wanted him to pursue an insurance brokerage career, but Williams got into modeling and subsequently acting. Williams was a frequent visitor to Buenos Aires and had apparently lived there alone for the last several months. Williams had two children with wife Janice Cooper, a former model. A son, Steven, was born in 1952 and a daughter, Toni, was born in 1957. There was no immediate word on funeral arrangements.

Los Angeles Times May 8, 1989 GUY WILLIAMS - Age 65 Guy Williams was an actor who played the character of Zorro on TV in the late 1950's. Zorro was a black-masked television hero. Williams died in Buenos Aires, Argentina, of an apparent heart attack. Mr. Williams was found by the police on Saturday, April 29, 1989. The police said that he died approximately one week before that. Armand Catalano was Guy Williams original name. He was a native of New York. In 1957, Williams was given his screen test for the "Zorro" series by the Walt Disney Studios in 1957. Before this screen test, Guy had worked at a soda fountain, was a garment worker and a model. Guy Williams had sideburns and a mustache. He stood at 6'3" and weighed 185 pounds. Mr. Williams was made to order for the role of Diego de la Vega. Diego de la Vega was the aristocrat in early 19th-century Mexico who battled the Spanish to protect his downtrodden countrymen.

Williams father was the one who interested Guy in the sport of fencing. When Williams was to take over the role of Zorro, playing in "The Mark of Zorro," he took a refresher course with the Belgian fencing master, Fred Cavens. Guy Williams also played in the film "The Sign of Zorro," in 1961. "Lost in Space" was a television series in which Williams starred. He was the leader of a family marooned in space. Guy Williams liked to visit Buenos Aires. He was said to have lived there alone for several months.

These were stepping stones to a slightly more mature entertainment palate. Some favorite topics for popular shows among pre-teens in the late 60s were superheroes, spies, and science fiction. It was an experimental time in television. TV was leaving behind the "Father Knows Best" and "Leave it to Beaver" innocence and addressing more edgy, current social concerns. Batman Holy flashback Batman! I was 10 years old when the Batman TV show, with Adam West as Batman and Burt Ward as Robin, debuted.

This was must-see-TV for the 4th grade crowd. The sound of that theme music would bring us running, we loved the comic book sound effects, the over the top bat gadgets and the zany villains. Millionaire Bruce Wayne, and his young ward Dick Grayson have no super powers. The Dynamic Duo must keep Gotham City safe with their superior powers of deduction and a wide array of bat-technology, made possible by Bruce Wayne's vast fortune. It was quite common for Batman and Robin to walk up the side of a building with their bat-rope all the while carrying on with their corny banter and exchanging pleasantries with whoever popped his head out a nearby window. It always ended too soon, with the inevitable cliffhanger, and the announcer urging us to tune in next time, "same bat time, same bat channel." You can bet that we always did. Advertisement Lost in Space Danger Will Robinson! Professor John Robinson (Guy Williams), his wife, Maureen (June Lockhart), their daughters Judy (Marta Kristen) and Penny (Angela Cartwright), and son Will (Billy Mumy) are chosen from among millions of volunteers to establish the first extra-terrestrial colony.

Major Donald West (Mark Goddard) is the pilot of their spacecraft. Dr. Zachary Smith (Jonathan Harris) is a foreign agent bent on sabotage. After he has performed his evil task and damaged critical systems on the ship, he is trapped aboard and launched into space with the Robinsons. Smith's extra weight causes the craft to go off course, thus causing them all to become "Lost in Space." Although Major West is distrustful of him, the Robinson's seem to feel that they have no choice but to accept Dr. Smith as one of the crew despite his devious and incompetent behavior. Befriended by Will Robinson, and often accompanied by the robot, the self-centered and cowardly villain becomes a comedic central character in the show. Advertisement Get Smart Missed it by that much. Who could ever forget agent 86, the bumbling spy Maxwell Smart (Don Adams). In this James Bond parody, Smart worked for the fictional spy agency CONTROL. Armed with an amazing array of goofy, high-tech gadgets, 86 always managed to foil the evil plots of arch enemy KAOS.

Under the supervision of the Chief (Edward Platt), Smart and his beautiful and competent love interest, agent 99 (Barbara Feldon), kept the world safe for democracy on a weekly basis. A running gag on the show is Smart's by-the-book insistence on using the "cone of silence" whenever discussing sensitive information. The cone is a plastic bubble that comes down from the ceiling to cover the people who are speaking; it echos so badly that the people inside it cannot understand one another, yet it does nothing to prevent people outside the bubble from hearing the conversation. Advertisement The Mod Squad One black, one white, one blond. The Mod Squad were the coolest cops on TV. Link Hayes (Clarence Williams III), Pete Cochran (Michael Cole) and Julie Barnes (Peggy Lipton) all became undercover detectives to avoid jail when they had their own run-ins with the law. They were able to infiltrate where other cops couldn't go because of their hip appearances and their street savvy. Tough but fair, Captain Greer took the three under his wing and convinced them to team up. This was a ground-breaking TV show that addressed many social issues that had not been covered on TV.

Issues like the anti-war movement, spousal abuse, racial issues and drug use. The squad always had each other's back and they never carried or used guns. Advertisement The Man From UNCLE UNCLE (United Network Command for Law and Enforcement) was a fictional international intelligence organization. It was comprised of agents from many nations. American agent Napoleon Solo (Robert Vaughn), and Illya Kuryakin (David McCallum) from the USSR, were the main characters in the show. The threat posed by the malevolent enemy agency THRUSH (Technological Hierarchy for the Removal of Undesirables and the Subjugation of Humanity) was dire enough to cause nations to set aside their differences and come together to defeat this common foe. The goal of THRUSH was to conquer the world and enslave it's people, but battling this ominous foe did not prevent the Man from UNCLE from being lighthearted. As the show progressed it became more tongue in cheek finally becoming more of a spoof on a spy show than a real spy show. The Avengers The Avengers ran from 1961 to 1969.

The main character, John Steed (Patrick Macnee), had a series of partners, but in the version of the show that I am most familiar with his partner is the lovely Mrs. Emma Peel (Diana Rigg). It was a spy show with a light comedic touch, and science fiction elements. Steed behaved and dressed in a formal Edwardian style, even driving vintage automobiles. He consistently addressed his partner as Mrs. Peel, while she herself had an ultra-modern style which included mini-skirts, geometric patterns, and even a leather catsuit. Mrs. Peel's automotive choices were hip and modern as well. The Time Tunnel Project Tic-Toc is a top-secret government project aimed at exploring time travel. When the government considers shutting down the project, one of the scientists, Dr. Anthony Newman (James Darren), sends himself back in time in an effort to prove that the time machine works. The staff back at Tic-Toc are able to see what's happening to Tony through the tunnel, and when they find out he's on the Titanic, Dr. Douglas Phillips (Robert Colbert) volunteers to go back with a newspaper showing the sinking of the ship, to convince the captain to change course.

Predictably, Doug only succeeds in becoming stuck in the past himself. The staff at Tic-Toc is not able to bring the two home, but does manage to send them swirling through time before the ship sinks. Each week Tony and Doug find themselves at a new time, often at a pivotal moment in history. Even though there's the fear that they will change history, it appears that they are supposed to be wherever they go, as they seem to be instrumental in keeping history on the right track. Advertisement by POSH by tori boutique 6 Lost in Space | Uncyclopedia | Fandom powered by Wikia edit The Dream In a controversial scene that was never broadcast, Maureen Robinson uses family photos and home movies to create the first pornographic website. Series creator Irwin Allen was later credited with inventing the concepts of the personal computer, Internet and 4Chan . Some of these images were later used in the Preteen Slut movie series. Television producer Irwin Allen heard about the proposed Star Trek television program, which claimed it would be based on extrapolation of modern science and would revolutionize popular Sci-Fi culture. The Star Trek crew also said they planned to push television's sexual limits.

The ship would have a crew of half men and half women, and would feature episodes dealing with sexual taboos such as birth control, interracial intimacy, unrepressable sexual urges (Pon farr), human-alien sex, and frequent upskirt shots. But Allen believed its creator, former police sergeant, pilot and aeronautical engineer Gene Roddenbury, lacked the real-world experience and technical knowledge that a television producer such as Allen would have. So Allen decided to produce something more sophisticated, pushing the limits of technology and those of the censors. His dream for Lost in Space was nothing short of filming it entirely on location with real astronauts, real spacecraft, real alien planets, real aliens and real sex. He originally planned to call the program either Space Family Robinson or Lost Girls, both based on Alan Moore 's series of porno-graphic novels. But Moore and comic company Gold Key refused to release either title. This was the first of Allen's legal complications. He was also forced to compromise on the real aliens and used actors instead, because union rules prevented him from employing non-terrestrials in acting roles. He also agreed to compromise on using real astronauts because American union rules during the Cold War preventing him from employing Russians .

The Star Trek Concordance author Bjo Trimble said, "If he knew how the acting was to turn out in the final production, he could probably have gotten around the rules on a technicality." The Jupiter 2 (held here by God ) was strangely smaller on the inside than on the outside. This has proved to be a continual mystery to Gallifreyan temporal engineers. Allen's dream for real spacecraft and real planets persisted. The Jupiter 2 was to be built by no less than Lockheed Martin and his brother, Steve . Alien planets were identified by NASA using advanced optical interferometers. Allen insisted on following strict classification rules which he explained in detail in the NASA-assisted Lost in Space Technical Manual. This specified that "a planet shall be regarded as a massive spherical body that is neither a star nor a film studio." Unfortunately, due to a computer malfunction in converting metric to imperial measurements, the Lockheed brothers built the Jupiter 2 far too small for it to be operational. Since there was insufficient time left before filming began for a new ship to be built, Irwin Allen decided to drop his dream of a real spacecraft and real alien planets.

He instead settled for a wooden mock-up of a spacecraft, polystyrene rocks in a television studio, and human actors in alien costumes recycled from 1930s Saturday morning movie serials. Ironically, this proved fortuitous, for it encouraged Allen to focus on great acting, great writing and great sex. edit The Plot After months of researching both Eastern and Western classical literature, Allen discovered all plots could be condensed into one. He described this in a 1966 interview with Barbara Walters . Allen said all plots could be reduced to "boy meets girl, boy loves girl, girl loves boy, they marry, have a family, then all get on a ship bound for a new world and end up in a sound studio at 20th Century Fox." edit The Episodes Science fiction writer Isaac Asimov wrote and starred in the episode "The Mad Hatter." His character's best-known line was "The Jupiter 2 makes a wicked hat." The first episode, "No Place to Hide," features the Robinson family, their pilot and robot leaving Earth on October 16, 1997.

Convicted of various sex crimes and other wrongdoings, they are condemned to join a penal colony on Alpha Centauri . Dr. Zachary Smith is the comic relief as the bumbling, lovable guard who sneaks aboard the ship when the family tries to escape and accidentally throws the ship off course. About the middle of the first season, Allen realized the series needed a new focus "to keep the attention of the sophisticated American viewer." He then made Dr. Smith, a guest star who appeared regularly in every episode, a regular who was listed as a guest star. "I felt this was the change the series needed." The change worked. The series increased in popularity, and its first season's ratings beat those of Star Trek . Unfortunately, in season two the baseball docudrama Batman began airing at the same time as Lost in Space. To compete with the serious drama, Dr. Smith was changed from the comic guard to a highly competent medical doctor, environmental control expert, and a United Nations secret agent who pretended to be a comic guard. His mission was to deliver the family, pilot and robot to the penal colony.

But his efforts were continually thwarted by the convicts, who were set on escaping and returning to their home on the "shining planet known as Earth." The show settled into a successful formula that's been followed by virtually every science fiction series made since. Dr. Smith looks for ways to get the Robinsons to prison, and fools Will Robinson into assisting him. The Robot usually accompanies them, warning Will with "Danger, Will Robinson!", questioning Dr. Smith's plans with "That does not compute," and warning everyone with "Warning! Warning!" Dr. Smith responds with "You bubble-headed booby !", which somehow passed by 1960s censors. As a result of some brave effort, Dr. Smith becomes severely injured and cries, "Oh, the pain...the pain!" But he reassures the easily frightened Will, saying, "Never fear, Smith is here!" Pilot Don West and Professor John Robinson uncover Smith's plot to have them incarcerated, and set out to stop him. Penny Robinson comes to help Dr. Smith (in the third season while wearing a mini-dress), while John's wife Dr. Maureen Robinson and daughter Judy bake cookies.

At the end of each episode, Professor Robinson tells Will, "Don't do that again, Son." This is followed by a cliffhanger. The penultimate episode featured the original Carrot Top , here called "The Big Orange Dildo." The name passed by conservative 1960s censors because none of them knew what a dildo was. Allen planned a new direction for the series in the fourth season, which was unfortunately never produced. Near the end of season three, Lost in Space became the first American series to seriously deal with unwed pregnancy, although the word "pregnant" was never used. In the series's penultimate episode, "The Great Dildo Rebellion," it is discovered that John and Maureen's daughter is "expecting a baby." At the climax of the episode, Penny delivers. The final episode was aired as "Junkyard in Space," but was originally titled "Who's the Daddy?" Dr. Smith tries to save Penny's baby, called Debbie the Bloop, and capture the Robinsons. He plans to exchange the infant, whom he believes is in danger because she's the product of rape, for seven pairs of used handcuffs with the kindhearted junk dealers Sanford and Son.

The plan is thwarted when genetic testing reveals the baby's true father: Penny's brother Will. In the last line of the episode and of the series, Professor Robinson tells Will, "Don't do that again, Son." Irwin Allen used the show as a showcase for color broadcasting, with vivid purples, greens, and yellows everywhere. While he claimed this was an unintentional factor in the increasing sales of color televisions, his claim was investigated by the Federal Communications Commission. According to a report released in 1968, television sales soared as a direct result of feet, fists, and books going through the screen every time Dr. Smith pressed buttons on an alien machine while saying the line, "Nonsense William, what could possibly go wrong?" Some suspect this was due to a televised mind control device, and believe this investigation was the actual reason for the cancellation of the series. Others believe it was the controversial story line involving Penny and Will that ended the third season, which due to budget constraints was filmed in black and white. edit The Music The theme music was by John Williams , in his familiar Spanish guitar style. To increase the show's tempo, in the third season he played it faster.

Much of the incidental music in the series was written by Williams and other notable film and television composers, ironically including Alexander Courage, who wrote the theme music for Star Trek . edit The Critics In the episode "Space Beauty," Robot was forced to judge a beauty contest between the preteen Penny and a silver lady with points on her head. Here they pose in front of a boulder. The asexual Robot chose the rock. Many contemporary critics complained that the show's vision of the future, especially in its sex roles, was unrealistic. But a few decades of progress revealed otherwise. The real-life missions of NASA and the Russian Federal Space Agency demonstrated that it is always men who are responsible for malfunctioning technical equipment and spaceship crashes. Good Housekeeping executive editor Jennifer Cook pointed out that "futuristic women were accurately shown as gleefully pressing buttons on the front of their automatic food processors, hair stylers, and washing machines." And Dateline NBC: To Catch a Predator host Chris Hansen said the show accurately predicted "how preteen girls would finally reach their due recognition as sex objects ." While in retrospect the program is almost universally praised for it's ground-breaking accuracy and treatment of sexual issues, it is continually criticized by Star Trek cast, crew and fans.

Star Trek creator Gene Roddenbury said aliens on the show "looked like extras wearing costumes recycled from 1930s Saturday morning movie serials. And when the girls weren't wearing leg-hiding trousers, their dresses were too long--you couldn't see their panties!" Star Trek writer David Gerrold wrote "The Robinsons were out-bumbled (first season) or out-smarted (second and third season) by Dr Smith in every episode, failed to push Dr. Smith out the airlock in every episode, and managed to escape each planet just before it exploded--and it was always the same planet. If I wanted to see the same planet blow up over and over and over again, I'd go to a marathon featuring every remake of the original Star Wars ." In spite of criticism by Star Trek fans, Lost In Space was invariably well compared against that show by TV critics and others. In addition to its American awards, the program was acclaimed internationally. The International Trust of Academic Science and Scientifiction (TITASS) rated it the 3rd Greatest Sci-Fi Gratuitous Sex Program of all time, right behind Holmes and Yo-Yo (2nd) and Fox News (1st).

Austra of Australia's Top 100 Sci-Fi TV Shows ranked it as number 1 (Star Trek was number 42). Unfortunately, the American Lost In Space has suffered in comparisons against British Sci-Fi. British critics have said that the acting, stories, and general quality of the sets were not up to the standards of the greatest and most realistic British Sci-Fi programme of all time, The Clangers . edit The Spinoffs The program was made into a comic book series, a cartoon, a feature film, a novel and a lunch box. Plans for a second series were canceled when it was decided that modern Computer-generated imagery (CGI) would pale in comparison to the original show's models.
